NACF AWARDS FALL GRANTS TO AREA NONPROFITS

The Northwest Alliance Community Foundation (NACF) received 17 grant applications for its 2024 Fall Grant cycle and is awarding $11,400 to four nonprofit organizations this month.

Grants will be distributed to the West Denmark Woodland School for a playground at its new daycare program based on the Forest School model; the Youth of Burnett County Prevention Coalition for incentives to attend the Youth Substance Misuse Prevention Community Event; the Burnett County Family Resource Center in support of its Family Strengthening Programs; and Workforce Resource to provide funding to help youth aging out of foster care find safe and stable housing.

NACF began to offer grant opportunities in the fall of 2016 and to date has awarded 88 grants totaling more than $172,000 to area nonprofits.  Area nonprofits do a tremendous job strengthening our communities and residents, and NACF is proud to support them.
